The method for preparing the polypropylene foam material with controllable internal pressure according to claim 1, wherein the inorganic nucleating agent in the step 2) is one or more of talcum powder, calcium carbonate, silicon dioxide, zinc borate, titanium dioxide and aluminum oxide, the inorganic nucleating agent has a random sheet structure and a specification of 5-8 μm, and the weight of the inorganic nucleating agent accounts for 3.5-5% of the total weight of the raw materials in the step 1).
6. The method for preparing a polypropylene foam material with controllable internal pressure according to claim 1, wherein the internal pressure of the polypropylene foam beads in the step 5) is calculated by the following method:
1) preparing nylon mesh bag and balance, weighing the nylon mesh bag by the balance and recording as m1
2) Putting a certain amount of foaming beads into the nylon mesh bag and sealing the nylon mesh bag;
3) putting the nylon mesh bag in the step 2) into a prepressing tank for prepressing treatment, and prepressing according to a preset prepressing program;
4) taking out the nylon mesh bag immediately after the pre-pressing is finished, weighing the nylon mesh bag, and recording the weight as m2
5) Putting the nylon mesh bag weighed in the step 4) into an oven to bake for 2 hours until the weight of the mesh bag is constant, and recording the weight as m3
6) Testing the bulk density rho of the expanded beads in the mesh bag in the step 5);
7) the internal pressure of the polypropylene expanded beads was calculated according to the following formula:
wherein the unit of P is bar, the unit of rho is g/L, m1、m2、m3The unit of (a) is g, T is the ambient temperature on the day of the test, and the temperature of the compressed air in the pre-pressing tank is the same as the ambient temperature.
